What happens if you don't show up to court as a witness in a non injury road accident?
It depends upon the law of the State, and also whether or not you were subpoenaed. A subpoena is the equivalent of a court order to appear at a given time and place (usually for the purpose of giving testimony and/or producing documents). A subpoena is served by a sheriff or other process server and has the force of law. As such, you could be deemed to be in contempt of court for disobeying the subpoena. This could result in the issue of yet another court order summoning you to court to report to the judge and the imposition of monetary fines. Likewise, the person or entity that subpoenaed you (it could be a person, other entity such as a corporation, or a government body) may not be able to meet its burden of proof (and thereby lose a civil or criminal case) if you do not appear. Absent a subpoena, there is not a court order outstanding to compel your attendance, so contempt is really not an issue. Nonetheless, the law of your State may contain other provisions for notification of a court date (such as notice by mail) and attendance at it, so that law should be consulted to be certain.

How is the compulsory process accomplished?
Compulsory process in the courts is essentially the court's subpoena power. This power enables a court to compel people who have information relevant to a civil or criminal action to appear in court and either give testimony or provide demonstrative evidence in aid of the parties involved in the action. It is accomplished by the issuance of a subpoena by a court or by an attorney in the name of the court. The subpoena is served on the person whose appearance is desired and a small fee is paid to him/her. At that point the person is compelled to answer the command of the court to appear at the place stated in the subpoena on the date and at the time indicated. In addition to the subpoena power, courts sometimes issue orders to show cause or other types of orders to people involved in litigation to compel their attendance or participation in court related matters.
How do you write a subpoena?
If you are already involved in a personal injury civil case and want to subpoena records or witnesses, you-or your attorney-will need to file a request for the subpoena with the court, if the request is granted, then a process server will deliver the documents-they must be signed in order to ensure that the person who was served actually saw the papers. Once this happens, that person is legally bound to either give over the requested evidence or show up for depositions as a witness or show up in court. The attached law article goes further into the subpoena process.
